Thinking About Getting An Arrow Crab

[Roboson]

Hey I was wondering if anyone on here had an arrow crab and could share their experiences with them?

I had one it did well in my tank. It even walked on my large leather toadstool without bothering it.

Mine eats bristles pretty well this is the second I have had first one was so big could touch the front and back glass at the same time on a 125g traded him in got a smaller one

I believe thenonly thing they may bother is feather dusters?

I think I'm getting one. I don't have any large dusters, but I have some 10+ inch bristleworms in my nano. They're all going to be transferred over to my new 40g and will serve as a good source for the Fuzzy Arrow Crab that I plan on getting in the near future.

Never seen it go for big bristles and mind don't bother feather dusters or the likes at all

One of my favorite crabs, very active and out and about. Cons: They grow large fast, they are always hungry and may go after LPS to steal food. Pros: Mine ate even the largest Bristleworms like candy.

In this image you can see a very large Arrow Crab in the right hand corner, it got that large in about 5 months. He had to be eventually removed for picking at LPS, he was target feed.

Great crab, con is short life span, never had one make it past a year

Aquarium depot sells a miniature species, I think that'll actually work out better.
